Neopets Site Overhaul - Google Search/New Games Room

[ggagahc]

Just out of curiosity - I noticed my usual sponsor games (YuGiOh, Miuchiz Paws, Gotchi Crowd Patrol) missing from the list of Puzzles or Action games. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but...did they remove all the sponsor games?

[Moonlight Flower]

Ack! What the heck?! My EYES!

It stands out WAY too much compared to the rest of the site! I wish they'd picked some colors that aren't so bold.

I do kind of like the new categories, but the design is just.. I don't know. It doesn't match the rest of the site. And god forbid the rest of the site starts to match it. @.@

I mean, I'm sure I'll get used to it, but.. still. o.o';

[everconfused]

...and everything appears OK now (even the images at the bottom of each game). I think Premium beta'd this a long time ago, IIRC...?

Nope, I have premium - none of us knew anything about this change. Believe me, if we had you all would have known.

Silly question...do the game pages no longer display the point to neopoints ratio, or am I just missing it.

And this's coming from someone who absolutely adores every Blumaroo in existence.

... That's a blumaroo?

where are people going to talk to the games master?

Edit// There seems to be the option to send a challenge card after every game. Does anyone know if you get any np for this?

To talk to the games master click on games master in the news.

It's extremely ugly, overly complicated, less organized than before, harder to find games, sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the site, and whatever the heck that thing is in the top image that says game room is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!

And worst of all, it no longer tells you the NP to points ratio! The single most important piece of information about the game!!

I really hate this. I am tempted to write to TNT complaining. Or stop playing Neopets all together.

Wow, calm down there. This is taking it a little too far. Sure we may complain now, but we'll get used to it, I'm sure. Didn't we all also complain about the Explore Map's revamp? And aren't we all used to it at this point? No reason to quit Neopets over something so trivial! (Although, to be honest, I really hate the new layout too)

[Huggles]

Yeah, the layout is overly complicated and garish. Especially the black and white icons at the bottom. It also doesn't display properly in Firefox for me. None of the game images load and the information in the tables isn't aligned. Bleh. I hope there will be an option to view it in an updated version of the old style.

Well, if I can't tell what the NP:point ratio is, how will I know if the game is worth playing? Or what score to try to shoot for? If I can't do that, it's going to be really hard to make NP playing games.

And just now I got the your score is being reviewed message, three times! For sponsor games! I'm afraid I'm going to get frozen now!

Maybe it's time to take a little break from Neopets. Or a long break.

I keep getting that too... I've gotten really good at those "crowd patrol" games since I play them every day... hope it doesn't think I'm using some program or something... :/

[Jiffy]

I have nothing nice to say about the new Games Room either. Watch they eventually make the rest of the site look like this too.

I really really really liked the old front page of the games room. The four illustrations worked so well together. I may be taking a break from Neo too.

The Google search, I really don't care one way or another.

EDIT: "For Kids" has to be the worst category possible for Volcano Run.

[stampsyne]

Games room reminds me of....

[kiay]

NOOOOOO!!! Where are the quality buttons??? Don't they realize that some people have very slow computers and that all the games run really slow. How am I supposed to play Destruct O Match now, it takes at least 2 seconds for the blocks to completely dissapear on high quality, I hate this
The layout sucks as well, it takes forever to load.

[Huggles]

The heck...does it automatically send every score now?

Edit: Nevermind. Usuki Frenzy skipped the send score page and went to the restart/send challenge page my first two games.

They got rid of the quality setting... that was the only way I could actually play some of the games I frequently play on this slow computer!
